Ahead of their comeback, the group ILLIT has teased another addictive track.
ILLIT (Yoona, Minju, Mocha, Wonhee, Iroha) posted a snippet video of the title track 'Borrowed Cat (Do the Dance)' from their mini album 'bomb' on the HYBE Labels YouTube channel on the 23rd. The video allows viewers to listen to a part of the title track in advance and catch a glimpse of the concept, creating excitement for the complete song.
Against the backdrop of a dark night, ILLIT's school uniform visuals draw attention. Minju gazes into a mysterious tunnel with an eager expression, and soon the five members enter an unknown world together. The smiling faces of the members exude a quirky yet mystical atmosphere, heightening curiosity about the story to unfold.
The catchy beats are enough to capture the hearts of music fans. The dreamy melody lines, repeating lyrics, and questioning cat sounds are filled with fun elements. Additionally, the members' clear vocal tones linger in the ears, leaving a brief but intense impression.
According to their agency, Belift Lab, 'Borrowed Cat (Do the Dance)' is a song based on the French house genre that captures the excitement and innocence of a first date. The unique song title comes from the proverb 'like a borrowed cat,' which refers to unfamiliar and tense situations.
Belift Lab noted, “The title track expresses the story of making mistakes on a first date with someone you like, becoming like a borrowed cat, but not wanting it to end like this, so we express our affection by saying 'Let's dance together' (Do the Dance). We ask for your great expectations for this new song, which encapsulates ILLIT's bold and honest charm.”
The reaction to the included songs has been explosive. On the 22nd, through a highlight medley, parts of four songs, including 'little monster,' 'jellyous,' 'oops!,' and 'Night Picnic,' were unveiled, showcasing trendy and diverse sounds that accentuate ILLIT's musical color.
Thus, ILLIT has captured the attention of global fans by showcasing parts of all the new album tracks about three weeks ahead of their comeback. ILLIT's new release will be unveiled at 6 p.m. on the 16th of next month.
